Road To the NCAA Tournament- Selection Process for the Championship Game

The 2000 National Collegiate Men's Water Polo Championship will be a four-team, single-elimination tournament (four games), with a loser's bracket to determine places three and four. The Eastern Water Polo Association, Mountain Pacific Sports Federation and the Western Water Polo Association will provide automatic qualifiers. The remaining team will be selected at-large without geographical restrictions. The following criteria will be utilized (not necessarily in preferential order): won-lost record versus teams selected or seeded above the team being considered; head-to-head competition; end-of-season results (strong or weak finish); and results against common opponents. Once the teams are selected, the NCAA Men's Water Polo Committee will seed the four teams.
